Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the initial protein solution contains a mixture of albumin and globulin 5 to 6 percent by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein the naturally occurring aqueous solution is blood.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein the naturally occurring aqueous solution is whey.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the precipitated albumin and globulin is redispersed to an aqueous solution, which is used as the starting material for repeating the process.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
